Non-immigrant visa holders must return to home countries to apply for green cards, Trump administration says - NBC News
Overview
The administration announced that people in the U.S. on temporary nonimmigrant visas who seek green cards must leave the United States and apply through consular processing in their home countries, reversing the common practice of adjusting status domestically. Reporting describes the change as a surprise policy reversal that would force many visa holders to undergo interviews abroad, risk separation from family and employment, and could worsen backlogs and logistical barriers. The shift is part of broader efforts to tighten immigration rules and is likely to prompt legal challenges and political pushback.
